Planicrete SP is a premium-quality Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex bonding agent specially formulated to enhance the performance of cement-based mortars, screeds, renders, and repair materials. Designed for modern construction and repair applications, it significantly improves bonding strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, water resistance, and overall durability. It is widely used for bonding new concrete to old concrete, floor screeds, cement renders, repair mortars, and tile fixing applications.
In Bangladesh, Planicrete SP has become a trusted solution for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects where high-performance cementitious materials are required. Whether for repairing damaged concrete, improving floor screeds, or enhancing plaster adhesion, Planicrete SP delivers reliable, long-lasting performance.
Product Overview
Planicrete SP is a multipurpose synthetic rubber latex additive that is mixed with Portland cement, sand, and aggregates to produce high-performance cement mortars. Unlike conventional cement mortar, Planicrete SP-modified mortar develops excellent adhesion, improved flexibility, reduced shrinkage, and greater resistance to water penetration and mechanical stress.
It is ideal for both interior and exterior construction work and is suitable for new construction as well as repair and renovation projects.
Working Principle
When mixed with cementitious materials, Planicrete SP forms a polymer network throughout the mortar.
This polymer modification:
- Improves adhesion to concrete and masonry.
- Reduces water absorption.
- Increases tensile and flexural strength.
- Enhances flexibility.
- Reduces cracking caused by shrinkage.
- Improves resistance to abrasion and impact.
- Extends the service life of cement-based materials.
Key Features and Benefits
Excellent Bond Strength
Creates a powerful bond between old and new concrete, ensuring durable repairs.
Improves Mortar Performance
Enhances compressive, tensile, and flexural strength of cement mortar and screeds.
Superior Water Resistance
Reduces water absorption and improves durability in damp and wet environments.
Increased Flexibility
Allows mortar to accommodate minor movements without cracking.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance
Ideal for floors, industrial screeds, and high-traffic areas.
Reduced Shrinkage
Minimizes shrinkage cracks during curing.
Easy Application
Mixes easily with cement and aggregates without requiring complicated procedures.
Long-Term Durability
Improves resistance to ageing, weathering, freeze-thaw cycles (where applicable), and mechanical loads.
Applications
Planicrete SP is suitable for a wide range of construction applications.
Floor Screeds
Produces high-strength bonded screeds for industrial and commercial floors.
Cement Mortars
Improves strength and durability of cement-based repair mortars.
Concrete Repairs
Ideal for repairing damaged concrete surfaces, beams, columns, slabs, and structural members.
Bond Coats
Used as a bonding slurry between existing and freshly placed concrete.
Cement Renders
Enhances adhesion and durability of internal and external plaster.
Tile Installation
Improves the bonding performance of cementitious tile adhesives.
Floor Levelling
Suitable for levelling compounds and surface preparation.
Waterproof Cement Mortars
Enhances resistance against moisture penetration when used in cement-based systems. It is a mortar modifier, not a standalone waterproof membrane.
Advantages Over Conventional Mortars
Compared with ordinary cement mortar, Planicrete SP-modified mortar offers:
- Higher bonding strength
- Better flexibility
- Improved tensile strength
- Greater abrasion resistance
- Lower permeability
- Reduced cracking
- Better impact resistance
- Longer service life
- Improved durability
- Enhanced workability
These benefits make it a preferred choice for professional builders and contractors.
Suitable Substrates
Planicrete SP can be used on:
- Concrete
- Cement Plaster
- Brick Masonry
- Blockwork
- Cement Screeds
- Stone Masonry
- Existing Cementitious Surfaces
The substrate should be clean, sound, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose particles before application.
Mixing and Application
Typical application involves:
- Clean and prepare the substrate.
- Stir Planicrete SP thoroughly before use.
- Mix with Portland cement and graded sand or aggregate according to the recommended mix design.
- Apply as a bonding slurry or modified mortar.
- Place the screed or repair mortar while the bonding coat remains tacky.
- Cure properly according to standard construction practices.
Storage and Handling
To maintain product quality:
- Store in a cool and dry location.
- Protect from direct sunlight and freezing.
- Keep containers tightly closed.
- Use before the recommended shelf life.
Safety Information
During application:
- Wear protective gloves and safety goggles.
- Avoid prolonged skin contact.
- Wash exposed skin with clean water after use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
Conclusion
Planicrete SP Latex Bonding Agent for Mortar & Screed is a high-performance SBR latex polymer additive that significantly improves the adhesion, flexibility, strength, and durability of cement-based mortars and screeds. It is an excellent solution for concrete repairs, bonded screeds, cement renders, floor levelling, and tile fixing applications.
Its outstanding bonding strength, reduced shrinkage, improved water resistance, and long-term durability make it one of the preferred construction chemicals for modern building projects in Bangladesh. Whether used in residential, commercial, or industrial construction, Planicrete SP helps deliver stronger, longer-lasting, and more reliable cementitious systems.
